Digital Derby Auto Raceway by Tomy, released 1978, was (I think) my first electronic toy. I’m pretty sure it was a Hannukah present in 1979 or 1980.

On the other signs at Honest Ed’s, Toronto, Ontario. Don’t know what I like more - the magic marker aesthetic, the angled writing, or that massive decimal point.

The curvy dollar sign is magnificent too.

TVO Kids Shows:

If you spent your early formative years (say, from the ages of 4-8) growing up in Ontario during the 80’s AND you had a TV at your disposal AND at many times it became your electronic babysitter, then chances are that you were raised (and raised very well) on the wholesome, fascinating and sometimes unusual programming of TV Ontario. So what you will see before you at the above link will indeed bring back a boatload of memories (many of them good, some of them frightening), too many to mention in my case. Just catch the e-train to memory lane and enjoy yourself.

(I blogged about TVO kid shows awhile back but I hadn’t seen this site.)
